Question

Distinguish between distance and displacement​

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference between Distance and Displacement

Sl. No. Differentiating Property Distance Displacement

1 Definition The complete length of the path between any two points is called distance. Displacement is the direct length between any two points when measured along the minimum path between them.

2 Denotation d s

3 Direction Consideration To calculate distance, direction is not considered. To calculate displacement, direction is taken into consideration.

4 Quantity Distance is a scalar quantity as it only depends upon the magnitude and not the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity as it depends upon both magnitude and direction.

5 Route Information Distance gives the detailed route information that is followed while traveling from one point to another. As displacement refers to the shortest path, it does not give complete information of the route.

6 Formula Speed × Time Velocity × Time

7 Possible Values Distance can only have positive values. Displacement can be positive, negative and even zero.

8 Indication Distance is not indicated with an arrow. Displacement is always indicated with an arrow.

9 Measurement in Non-straight Path Distance can be measured along a non-straight path. Displacement can only be measured along a straight path.

10 Path Dependence Distance depends upon the path i.e. it changes according to the path taken. Displacement does not depend upon the path and it only depends upon the initial and final position of the body.

Answer 2

Distinguish between distance and displacement?

answer :

Distance :

• scalar quantity
• the numerical value between 2 points that is covered by an object
• using distance we will calculate speed

Displacement :

• vector quantity
• the shortest distance covered by an object from one point to other point
• using displacement we will calculate velocity
